  1. My cousin graduated from Winters in ‘87. Spent a summer with him cleaning cotton fields.
  2. I like that one too. I remember Lanier in San Antonio used that too.
  3. Now, I know many schools, too many in fact, use college fight songs and that’s ok. I still would like to know what fight songs y’all thought were best. Of course, I’m biased to my alma mater, South San Antonio High School, because it’s a very unique song that I don’t recall any college ever using. In fact, I was almost certain that nobody else uses our same fight song. Unfortunately, I was wrong and I found out that Abilene Cooper High School has the exact same fight song. Now, I’m on a mission to find out all I can about the song and to see who started using it first. My alma mater is older than Cooper, 1922 compared to Cooper’s 1960, but that’s not enough. Sadly, my high school sucks when it comes to media and school history so I don’t have a link to post of the song, but it gets me pumped up. So, let me hear it. What are the other fight songs out there?
  4. Is Duce committing today? I seem to remember reading that he had an announcement date of January 7th set. I just assumed it would happen at the All-American Bowl, but was wrong.
  5. I haven’t been able to keep up with things like I used to. What is going on with Ok. St.?
  6. I was raised on Gus Ball and learned how simple fundamentals could influence the outcome of a game. My late father, who graduated from South San in ‘59, would always regale us with stories of how Coach Gus and the South San players would out coach, out hustle and out smart more talented teams to win several state championships. My first trip to Disch-Falk Field was in 1976 to see South San play a state championship game against Duncanville and I was hooked. The aura that is Texas Baseball and Coach Gustafson consumed me. I followed every pitch, every hit and ever out from then on out. I, too, graduated from South San in ‘86 and knew from a very young age that my South San Bobcats owed their identity to our basketball coach, Jimmy Littleton Sr., and even more so to baseball coach Cliff Gustafson. It was a true honor when South San, again, made it to the state baseball championship game in ‘91 against Brazoswood and Coach Gus was in attendance at the game. Since the ‘70’s, South San’s home stadium has been named Burrows Field. Thankfully, in 2008, the South San Antonio ISD renamed the baseball stadium Burrows-Gustafson Field and presented Coach Gus a plaque memorializing the 50th anniversary of his first state championship at South San. Here’s to hoping the UT administration will rename the stadium UFCU Disch-Falk-Gustafson Field and the baseball stadium after Coach Garrido.
  7. It can be called The Lone Star Bowl sponsored by Dell or the Keep Austin Weird Bowl. Austin has the stadium, the hotels, the entertainment venues and the fans willing to support it. I know some will say we have too many bowls already, but with the increased number of FBS football schools, teams will be available. Just an idea.
  8. He also was player behind a more injured and horrible line than ours.

  10. Would be nice to have him take over for Sam.
  11. Every time I read news about the football team I just want to cuss like the goalie on Slap Shot.
  12. We’re going to the Tidy Bowl
  13. Eight total players that include one starter and one contributor.
